There is still too much noise in the media, but so far it's known that:

Four people were killed and another seriously wounded in a shooting at a Jewish high school in the southern French city of Toulouse, French media reported on Monday.

At least three kids and one teacher are dead. Several others are wounded, although it's difficult to find numbers at this time.

Update: Children aged three, six and 10, and a religious education teacher have been killed in today's shooting at a Jewish school in southwestern France.

Update 2: The incident claimed the lives of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, 30, his 3-year-old and 6-year-old sons Gabriel and Arieh and 8-year-old Miriam Monsonego, daughter of school headmaster Rabbi Yaacov Monsonego. A 17-year-old has been seriously injured.

According to a preliminary investigation, the man opened fire with an automatic pistol before switching to another when it misfired. French police say the first automatic weapon employed had a caliber of 11.43, the same as the gun used to kill three French soldiers in the area last week.

While 11.43 (mm) may sound an unusual caliber, it is actually a pretty standard 0.45 inch pistol, not rare at all. Still, not a typical European gun, and it could be that its use, together with the use of a motorcycle, points to the same terrorist who killed one soldier in Toulouse and two in Montauban.

Update. It was the same gun, apparently:The gun used to kill four people at a Jewish school in Toulouse on Monday morning was the same used in the slaying of three French soldiers in two separate incidents over the past eight days, French police said.

We know the name of the real culprit from our beloved Ha'aretz: N. Sarkozy...http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-school-attack-brings-france-s-ethnic-tensions-back-to-the-election-stage-1.419564

If this incident is indeed a hate crime, as it appears to be, the Jews are yet again set to lose from France's towering ethnic tensions, only that this time the flames are fanned by the president himself.

Thanks for your blog, I live currently in France and antisemitism has increased, obviously and without any politically correct boundaries, the fucking bastard muslim community is the most antisemitic, followed by the far-right stupid blonde (Marine Le Pen) who is always talking that she's "against the system" you can imagine which "system" she talks.... in her hypocritical speech... the system is controlled by "us" and we are behind every "political" problem... is just disgusting I am seriously thinking about left this country, but if I do, I will live it as ceding to this bastards...

At first I thought he was a neo-nazi, because he has targeted north-african soldiers, but the deliberate attack on jewish children doesn't fit. Iranian ties or not, the creep is probably an islamist who took upon himself to punish poeple he sees as traitors of the ummah (muslim soldiers in infidels' army fighting against their brothers blah blah). The attack on the jewish school must have been triggered by events in Gaza, maybe Afghanistan too. My guess would be an arab, not iranian.
